Here's a review by one person on their forum. I hope they don't require a payment method or you can just cancel right away, but keep the membership. Guess we'll see next week how good the membership is.

"137. Re: Is TripAdvisor Plus Worth It?
Feb 4, 2023, 9:03 AM

Definitely NOT worth it. I've had for a yr and the perks and discounts are almost non existent. No good deals on hotels outside of the US. I'm cancelling"
So now Trip Advisor wants us to pay $99 to be able to read "expert reviews" that Trip Advisor has begged from people to write for free for the last 10+ years. What started out as a friendly "community of travelers to help and advise each other in their journey" has now been monetized, with the additional carrot of a 10% discount on a hotel stay.

Puuuleeze. I've left many Trip Advisor reviews through the years, and had a pretty high traveler rating at one point, but I've naturally moved away from using Trip Advisor in recent years after their promotional (paid) reviews started taking over. With all the options available online now, TA just doesn't seem to be as honest and relevant anymore.

I refuse to believe $99 will pay for itself more than joining a hotel chain loyalty program (for free). ...in fact, a $45 annual AAA membership will provide better benefits, and will be guaranteed to work in more places, hotels, attractions, etc, for at least a 10% discount. Plus all the protection benefits for your car, like free towing, emergency gas, flat tire fixes, etc - plus you can actually call a toll free number to talk to a AAA person who can help you plan travel and find deals.

If the incentive for saving 10% on hotels and attractions is what is drawing your interest, I would stay very far away from this one.
There is actually already a subscription service to monitor your subscription services.

Here's how to find your automatic payments on the PayPal website:

Go to Settings.
Click the Payments tab.
Click Manage Automatic Payments.
Select the merchant.
that's for your end to turn it or off. it should never been turned on by default. it got nothing to do with their auto renew. turning your paypal auto payment on or off will not prevent them from charging you for the next auto payment cycle.

How about free? Simply comment on any Walmart or home Depot clearance ymmv thread that you called the store to check inventory ... Smilie
I called target to check stock on free TripAdvisor Plus. Brickseek showed they had at least 12
Ilin stock but the person at the store said he couldn't find any of them on the shelves and it must be an inventory error. Funny thing is I checked brickseek again at the end of the day and it said unavailable.

I hate Tripadvisor ever since they monetized the platform. Information are now hard to find among a maze of their offerings. Worst part is how they promote viator. You can hardly get any local tour operator information from Google because everything is suppressed by Viator. For those don't know, Tripadvisor bought Viator.

I still use TripAdvisor, but it has really gone downhill in user experience with their constant nagging and monetization. Not surprised they also own SeatGuru that has also gone in the toilet. At first, I thought they might be owned by Internet Brands. That company ruins every site it purchases.

Travel often, mostly to WDW. Like what this has to offer for local amenities, rooms, transportation, etc. Have heard of 'Tripadvisor' before but never checked it out. My Ego sucks ("I can do it better!"). Giving it a try for the year. Not sure if I really need it enough for the $99/yr. renewal. Will do a follow up FYI.
AWESOME Target 'Circle' deal. Been member for since it started. Retired military, still find some buys better than DeCA or AAFES. Hoping for the best. Guess I will see.
Thank you, Discombobulated

What is up with booking hotels with Tripadvisor? Some of the deals don't say what type of beds are in the room?

I took advantage of this offer. I did have the paid subscription last year and used it twice to book hotels. Depending on where you travel, you can save money. I ended up cancelling and not renewing because I already have my hotels booked for this year and didn't think I'd need to book more. I love that I could get this for free with the Target Circle. Thanks OP!

Not worth it.

If you get it cancel it right away.

You should have it for a year. And you will not get hit with auto Renewal.

I was able to save a lot of money on a few of my NYC trips. Rates were lower than booking direct or other third party sites. Customer service was decent as well. On one booking they didn't disclose a resort fee. Customer service agreed to refund extra cost after I submitted a receipt.
